Uniden MHS75 Waterproof Handheld 2-Way VHF Marine Radio - Black: Submersible, 1/2.5/5 Watt Power, All Marine Channels (USA/International/Canada) Review

Looks like a good radio! But after getting the availability of an extra battery and doing some research afterwards, I couldn't find anything available. It looks like Uniden isn't making batteries anymore. This fact makes this radio now unusable!

Ha, the title says this piece of shit is waterproof and the radio says "SUBMERSIBLE". My girlfriend used it in a kayak, it got wet and bang and bang, the radio was fried! ! !TIPS , Anything can be submerged in water, even my computer, it doesn't mean it will work after getting wet.

Functionally everything seems to work. I soaked it several times but there were no problems with water penetration. Poorly. Shortly after buying it, I accidentally dropped it from waist height onto the cab floor. The small part that secures the battery to the socket broke beyond repair and the battery could not stay…

I first wrote a bad review about this radio because mine suddenly stopped responding after a dozen rides over a period of about 15 months. However, I rock my boat every time I go out and paddle in the rough ocean surf the whole time, so I'm a lot harder on the radio than the average customer. Due to poor customer service reports, I wasn't optimistic when trying to contact them for warranty support. In fact, I didn't get through on the first try. However, when I tried it another day, I got a…
